Divergent art is a great way not only to foster creativity skills but to assess them. I do an activity the 1st week of school and give them a squiggle asking them to turn it into something. Half of them make it into a snake and half make it into an "S". I model for them some other ideas. And we do activities like this regularly.
I see so much progress in their answers and in their applied creativity. We get to the point like this one where every student creates something different, thinks of something different.
So with Valentine's Day coming up we used hearts. Turn the heart into something. Here's what they came up with.
